Cello Thought 1

My meandering musical thoughts played on my Yamaha SVC-100 Electric Cello, which is currently for sale. The asking

price is £850. Please contact me for shipping prices: international shipping may prove too expensive.

in no way affect the sound or performance. All electronics in perfect working condition. No longer has the

original chest rest, but this has been replaced with one I made myself. Comes with padded bag and power supply. No

bow included. Email me for a viewing.

Beautiful! How can I get a recording?

Please post more.

BTW, are you pleased with your Yamaha SVC-100?

I'm looking to buy my first cello and would like an electronic one for starters.

Best of Luck to You

Hey there

Thanks a million for your very positive feedback! I absolutely loved my Yamaha. I've sold it now as I don't use it any more - all studio work now, which requires a fine acoustic instrument. I'll send a couple of links here you can listen to and download more of my music (YouTube doesn't seem to want me to post links in this comment).

It is my own improvisation. Thanks for watching and commenting! :)

Thanks for your kind information. I note there is an electric cello on Amazon for $229; for a beginner like me, I thought it might be good enough to practice on. FWIW, this is the model number: Cecilio CECO-5NA I've never heard of it but the black model got 4/5 stars from one buyer (only one review). I'm wondering if you've heard anything about low-end instruments like this? Can you tell me any pitfalls to watch for in buying any kind of cello? I know this is a lot; I don't expect a rep.

That is truly lovely! Is it your own design or another piece?
